Chapter No. 04 Equilibrium Apply the condition of equilibrium for given force system to find the support reactions and beam reactions.
Equilibrium ? Any System of forces which keeps the body at rest is said to be in equilibrium.
Free Body Diagram ?
Cantilever Beam M = moment at support (N-m) R = Reaction at support (N) L = Length of the beam (m) F = Load acting on a beam (N)
Simply Supported Beam
Overhanging Beam
Fixed Beam Both the end of the beams are rigidly fixed.
Continuous Beam Beam which is supported on more than two support.
